Visualize FTP Data in Alteryx

Kondado lets you replicate files from your FTP server directly into Alteryx without complex configuration or intermediate databases. Simply select FTP as your data source and Alteryx as your destination to start analyzing CSV files immediately. Your data updates on a configurable schedule, ensuring your visualizations always reflect the latest information from your file transfers. This no-code approach means business users can set up the connection in minutes without waiting for IT support.

Kondado connects FTP directly to Alteryx, automatically replicating your CSV files with fields like row_number, column_number, and __file_basename so you can build visual reports without manual file downloads or technical setup.

With this connection, business teams can transform raw file data into actionable insights using Alteryx’s visualization capabilities. Marketing and operations teams save hours previously spent downloading and formatting files, focusing instead on analyzing trends and making data-driven decisions. Whether you are monitoring inventory files or sales reports, your Alteryx dashboards stay current with automated data refreshes.

Our prices start from $19 USD/month, and you can try Kondado for free for 14 days with no credit card required

The CSV pipeline captures every detail from your transferred files, including row_number, column_number, and __file_basename fields that help you analyze data structures even when files have varying columns. This enables you to track file processing metrics and compare data across different uploads directly in Alteryx.

Operations teams can visualize upload patterns and identify data quality trends by monitoring these file attributes over time. Marketing analysts benefit from correlating file metadata with campaign performance, creating comprehensive operational reports that show exactly when specific data files were processed and how their structure impacts downstream analysis.
